Package: tzdata
Version: 2009g-0lenny1
Severity: wishlist
I recently wanted to set this system to local standard time, and ran
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata to do so. The local zone is 9 hours west of
UTC, -0900 conventionally, but tzdata requires seletcing Etc/GMT+9
instead. I understand this is an upstream, POSIX issue, but maybe
it's time to retire this form?
A note or hint about the nature of these timezone selections would be
helpful in the tzdata interface.

Changes:
tzdata (2023c-4) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Sort timezones naturally in debconf
* Add explanation for plus/minus used by Etc/GMT timezones
(Closes: #540305, LP: #1325949)
* Build tzdata with PACKRATLIST=zone.tab. In combination with
PACKRATDATA=backzone (which is used since 2022g-3), time zones that differ
pre-1970 and had been resurrected will not incur changes to data from 1970
on. This also removes Asia/Hanoi again. (LP: #2017999)
* Update Croatian debconf translation. Thanks to Tomislav Krznar.
